THAILAND’S highest-ranked university on Wednesday confirmed that its board of directors had given conditional approval for a transgender student to wear female uniform.

The board plans to summon officials from its Faculty of Education and the student to hear each side’s explanation and reasons so the case can be concluded within 30 days.

Chulalongkorn University’s vice president for student and alumni affairs, Assis’t Professor Chaiyaporn Puprasert, said the institution had in the past allowed students attending their graduation ceremony to wear clothes that suited their gender identity and many faculties already allowed students to wear uniforms according to their sexual orientation.
